Easter is a wonderful time for family gatherings and for making lasting memories. It provides many opportunities for multi-generational activities that can bring joy to the entire family, from the youngest children to seniors. Here are some great ways to enjoy Easter as a family:
Plan an Easter Egg Hunt
One of the best ways to celebrate Easter is to host an egg hunt for the entire family to enjoy. Get plastic eggs or use Easter baskets and fill them with little treats, toys, or other interesting items. Then, hide the eggs around your home or yard for kids of all ages to find and enjoy.
For seniors who aren't able to walk too far, you can adjust this popular activity by hiding eggs in different rooms of your home, in easy reach. Make sure to take lots of pictures during the egg hunt, so that you and your senior loved one can review them later and relive all the happy memories.
Easter Movie Marathon
After the egg hunt, you can continue with your holiday festivities by having a movie marathon filled with family favorite movies. Choose some favorite Easter movies like “The Ten Commandments” or “A Charlie Brown Easter” and let everyone settle in for some fun family time together. Seniors who may not feel up to joining in on the egg hunt will still be able to join in on this activity from the comfort of their chairs!
Don't forget the snacks. Include a few different options for movie snacks, such as popcorn, fresh fruit, candy, and even trail mix, so that everyone will be able to nosh on something delicious while watching the movie.
Easter Meal Prep
Don't forget to plan a special meal for Easter dinner. From family recipes to just-invented ones that the kids will help you create, everybody can take part in the fun. You can even give each member of your family an assigned task like helping to cook, setting up the table, or cleaning up afterward. If you are short on time but still want to enjoy a delicious meal, you and your family can vote on a delivery meal or catering order from a local restaurant.
